Guerrilla Parties: Considered With Reference to the Laws and Usages of War examines what a guerrilla party is and how modern war law applies to irregular fighters. This edition helps readers understand the terminology, the origins of the term, and the legal distinctions that govern these groups.
The book traces how the term has been used in history, compares guerrilla bands to other armed groups, and explains why their status is often debated. It also surveys how different authorities have defined and treated self‑constituted fighters, partisans, and peasant levies in past conflicts, with emphasis on the implications for prisoners and civilian populations.
- Clear definitions of guerrilla, partisan, freebooter, brigand, and related terms
- Analysis of how irregular warfare challenges the law of war and its enforcement
- Discussion of how prisoners and civilians may be affected in different scenarios
- Historical examples showing how authorities have addressed guerrilla actions and countermeasures
Ideal for readers of military history and international law who want a grounded, old‑to‑new view of irregular warfare and its legal complexities.
